"The little fairy was amazing."
The Herrscher of Thunder smiled faintly.
Just as expected of him.
She sat on the ground with her legs tucked to one side, one hand pressed over her heart.
She had been saved by the little fairy.
Perhaps this was the second time Raiden Mei had been saved, but for the Herrscher of Thunder—
This was her first time.

A Herrscher did whatever she wanted. It was not up
